Lyrics

Forest River Sky

[Verse 1]
Walk with me slow
Through cedar and rain
Footsteps in moss
Wash out the pain

You keep your hands open
You keep your heart wide
I hear the old trees
Speaking inside

[Pre-Chorus]
The forest will teach you
How to stand still
Breathe in the green
And soften your will

[Chorus]
Forest teach me patience
Forest teach me patience
I will stay and listen

River teach me letting go
River teach me letting go
Take what I cannot keep

Sky, clear my mind
Sky, clear my mind
I am ready now

(Woo)

[Verse 2]
Stone in the water
Turns in my name
Every deep current
Changes the flame

Clouds over branches
Move like a vow
Nothing to force now
I know how

[Pre-Chorus]
The river will teach you
How to release
Drop every worry
And rest in peace

[Chorus]
Forest teach me patience
Forest teach me patience
I will stay and listen

River teach me letting go
River teach me letting go
Take what I cannot keep

Sky, clear my mind
Sky, clear my mind
I am ready now

(Woo)

[Bridge]
Hands in the cool mud
Heart in the wind
I was all tension
Now I begin

No more clenched hours
No more hard fight
I bend with the water
I rise with the light

[Chorus]
Forest teach me patience
Forest teach me patience
I will stay and listen

River teach me letting go
River teach me letting go
Take what I cannot keep

Sky, clear my mind
Sky, clear my mind
I am ready now

(Woo)
